Emeril's Molten Chocolate Cakes is the name of this recipe, but I think that it should be called, A Little Heaven On Earth with a gooey center! This recipe was pretty easy and surly impressive for the one the that you are making it for! I believe that the recipe can be made ahead of time and then baked, but I will have to check on that one!

DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease and flour 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or baking dishes with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of flour in each, tapping out the excess flour. Set on a baking sheet.

In a double boiler, or a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt the remaining 1/4 pound of butter with the chocolate, cream, and powdered sugar, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and salt until thick ribbons form, about 3 minutes. Sift 2 tablespoons flour into the egg mixture and fold together. Fold the chocolate into the egg mixture. Divide among the prepared dishes and bake until the sides of the cake are set and the tops are puffed but still soft, about 12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the ramekins for 2 minutes, then unmold onto dessert plates.

Hello and welcome to my baking/cooking blog. I decided to create this blog with the intention that it would give me motivation to bake and cook more often. My passion is the baking, so I have joined a baking club that has a baking challenge every month. I will be using this blog to post my results and to either poke fun at myself or maybe even pat myself on the back:) Please send me any great recipes that you think that our family cannot live without and check in on this blog as I dust off my recipe books. Happy Baking!
